Pedro, Richardo, and Martin getting serious! (not)

Sharon, Alaskan Gail, Leslie, and Deirdre......A full house!

Incredible chili rellanos. Yum.

Odette, Leslie, and Richardo. Salud!

Martes, Marzo, Dieci-Seis, Dos Mil Diez
‘Off The Porch’ (thanks P&S) coffee and to finish the final pages of my book, ‘The Theology of the Cross’. Heading up to Sayulita today for sun and relaxation….right! More like a better internet connection for trading and a few ounces of tequila with mi hermano y espousa. Also, 4 good friends of ours are in town and a gathering is greatly desired. More later as the day unfolds…hasta luego! Now to find 12 pesos for the carnival ride, aka bus.
Did you remember to turn your clocks back last Sunday morning? Not here! To make matters even more confusing, Mexico doesn’t change their clocks on the US schedule. And remember that Sayulita, Nayarit is an hour different than Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco…and what time does your plane leave? Both Pete/Sharon and I leave Mexico before April 4th, which is when Mexico will make the time adjustment….except, as rumors have it, Nayarit time will now coincide with Jalisco time….huh? My computer was very confused on Sunday morning. It’s now recommended that you arrive at the airport one day early. Lol
What a day/evening in Sayulita! Arrived at noon, but not sure what time zone I was in. Did a lot of trading thanks to P&S backup AC adaptor for my laptop. (Yes, I had forgotten mine) After a much needed siesta, the three of us headed over to Martin and Deirdre’s trailer where we also found Leslie and Richardo. (all 4 Canadians) Oh, and Alaskan Gail also joined us. L&R had just returned from a 6 week trip to Guatemala and of course had numerous stories to share. After a mandatory margarita, Martini style, we all headed to dinner. Incredible homemade chili rellanos. (see pics) Somehow we got split up after dinner but eventually we all ended up at P&S’s bungalow. It was great to see everybody, even though it was for a very short time. A very fun late night by all.
Buenos Nochos!
